A lovely girl with a thing for fashion, food and travels

Category Archives: outfits

I’m super fine but it’s too hot here in Italy. I can’t wait to go to the seaside!

I passed other two exams last week and I’m very happy and proud of myself. So I had to celebrate and yes, I went shopping (obviously)!

I went to Zara and I got a lovely dress and an amazing pair of high heels. I know that I’m tall but I don’t mind. I love the way you feel while you’re wearing a pair of high heels. And I feel super sexy! I’m going to wear them at a party next week and at a super special event at the beginning of July so you’ll see some pictures, stay tuned!

I went out for dinner with some friends yesterday night and I decided to wear this dress. I match it with a pair of slippers and a necklace from H&M, my Tiffany bracelet and my new vintage Givenchy watch. Talking about my hair, I decided to make an updo using a donut and I added a lovely bow hair clip. Do you like it?

I also have an announcement. I’m learning how to take pictures. Yeeeeee. Actually I’ve always been interested in photography but lately it’s something more than just an hobby. This is my first selfie with a reflex camera (with part of the outfit I described before). What do you think?

Hi peeps! How are you?
I’m super excited. I finally found what I have been looking for ages. I found the perfect leather jacket. I went to Zara with a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago and I saw it. It was love at first sight. If you follow me on Instagram (@allegoricalle) you have already seen this lovely jacket. I chose a romantic look for a 18th birthday party, an aggressive look for a dinner out with some friends and a casual look to go to uni. Which one is the best?

I’m super happy. Last week was crazy and I had so many things to do. Like I told you in my last post I have an exam in a couple of weeks and I’m also trying to keep fit and get ready for the We Own The Night that will be on May 30th. As I promised I also took some pictures with some of my new outfits. Friday was my granny’s birthday so my family and I decided to go out for lunch on Saturday. On Sunday afternoon I went with my BFF to the theater and we attended to the Swan Lake Reloaded. It was…unique. I really really enjoyed the soundtrack and the dancers were amazing. I loved it. On Monday I learned at uni how to do a website homepage and I felt such a nerd. And yesterday morning I baked some brownies (I’ll give you the recipe in my next Allegralovescooking) and then I went out with some friends. Yes, I’m a bit overwhelmed but I can do it.

I also found out that MAC has revealed the lineup of the “Maleficent” inspired collection that will be available from June 2014.

There are also some interesting news from Dita Von Teese. She presented her new lingerie collection at Bloomingdale’s in New York, wearing a lovely vintage style black lace evening gown.

I’m just a bit tired. Last week was a bit crazy and I had to do a lot of things. I’m sorry I didn’t post anything but I had to go shopping and I also had to get ready for a couple of special events (just kidding, I had to study a lot because I found out I have an exam in like three weeks. Yeeeeee).

By the way, this weekend was absolutely amazing. I had so much fun with my friends. On Friday night we decided to do a Star Wars marathon. Baaaaad idea. It’s like eating a piece of cake: you know that is a bad idea but you do it in any case. Oh well, my geeky part is showing up again. Cool.

Then on Saturday night I had a quite special birthday party. It was all about weirdness so I decided to wear a pajama and a necklace. Actually a super soft pajama made of a pink fleece material with a lot of little desserts drawn on it AND a necklace with some small ducks. That’s weird. I KNOW. Don’t judge me. I felt beautiful.

Last week I succeeded in going to the city center and I got a couple of things from H&M. If you follow me on Instagram (@allegoricalle) and on Twitter (@AllegraPiccio) you have already seen it. I’ll show you how I wore them in my next post so stay tuned.

TGIF! I’m so tired and I’m looking forward to the weekend. I need a break from this crazy week.

A couple of days ago I wore an old t-shirt I bought in San Francisco a year and a half ago more or less and this brought some old memories back.

I told you in my first post ever on my blog that I spent a month in the USA with my family. It was my 18th birthday present. We visited a lot of amazing places and I’m very thankful for having had such a great experience.

You already know that I love travel. I’m very lucky from this point of view because my parents always made me visit a lot of places and this trip in the USA is one of the most beautiful experience of my life.

We landed in San Francisco and we spent there four or five days. I got a lot of things like a couple of magnets and also a couple of gifts for my friends and, obviously, some clothes. Like this t-shirt. I found it in a lovely small shop near Pier 39 and I loved it. I know it’s a thing that only tourists can possibly buy but I don’t care. I don’t usually do things like this but, you know what? I WAS a tourist. So I bought it. It’s super comfy and you can wear it with jeans and a pair of sneakers, like I did, and you’re ready to go.

We also spent four days in Las Vegas (we stayed at the Excalibur hotel and it was amazing!) and then we also visited New York City.

Visiting these cities was one of my biggest dream. I hope to come back there as soon as possible because I miss them.

BUT this wasn’t just an Allegra-loves-shopping-so-let’s-just-visit-three-amazing-cities-that-have-a-lot-of-shops. I wanted to demonstrate that I was a eighteen years old responsible and cultivated girl so I asked my parents to do a tour in some of the National Parks that there are on the West Coast. We went to the Monument Valley and to the Grand Canyon. We saw the Sequoia National Park and the Zion National Park and also the Bryce Canyon and the Death Valley (and it rained while we were there!).

I learned a lot from this trip and I think it’s a thing I won’t forget for the rest of my life.

I’m super fine. And also tired, but I don’t care. I have a lot of things to do and I can do it. Or, at least, I hope so.

By the way, I’ve been to the city center last week because I had to go to a meeting about Erasmus and…yes, I had to go also to H&M just to see something from the new collection. And yes, I obviously got something. You know, I’m not a shopaholic, I’m just helping the economy.

I bought a super cute and comfy hoodie, a lovely black high-waisted skirt, a necklace I was looking for and a pretty bow for my hair.

As you can see from the pictures I already tried everything, apart from the necklace (that I think I’m going to wear tomorrow, so stay tuned because I’ll post my ootd on Instagram (@allegoricalle) as usual).

I’m fine. Actually, I’m more than just fine. And I’m happy about that.

I think it’s because I’ve changed my philosophy of life.

It has been a couple of weeks that I’ve started thinking in a different way, enjoying all the little things that happen every day and I like it. And for this I have to thank one of my BFF. She’s always happy and she is very good at spread happiness wherever she goes. So I thought I could try this and it worked. A couple of things happened lately and I needed a change.

One of the things I’ve found quite useful it’s to write on some small pieces of paper all the things that happened during the day and made you happy and put them in a box. At the end of the year you will open the box and you’ll think about all this cheerful things and you’ll be able to focus just on the good part of your year. Did you already heard about this cute idea? Are you going to try it?

Thanks to this I come up with a couple of new ideas for the blog so stay tuned!

Even if I’m still studying for the exams I decided to take a break and guess what? I know, I’m predictable. Yep, I went shopping. Not really went shopping, actually but I got something that I love and I’ve been craving for a bit and I’m in love with them. I literally can’t stop wearing them. I bought them on the Internet and it was the first time I bought a pair of shoes on this website. I ordered them on Monday and they arrived on Friday morning and I’m very satisfied.

I decide to match them with two things you already know because I told you about them here and here. This was my outfit for a dinner out with my friends on Saturday night. Do you like it?

But this didn’t stop me from keeping up to date on the Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture that took place a few days ago.

I literally fell in love with Elie Saab new collection. AMAZING!

I took some pictures of the outfits I liked the most, watching the shows in streaming (so I’m sorry about the quality of them but I couldn’t find some of the looks on the Internet)

Here there are some pieces from Atelier Versace (also Gaga was there), Armani Privé, Schiaparelli, Christian Dior and Chanel (I really enjoyed the Cara and Karl finale). I didn’t like at all Mason Martin Margiela and Gaultier runaways.

I finally got a couple of things I was looking for like this statement necklace and this super warm cardigan from Zara and a bag for uni (this comes from Accessorize).

I love accessories but, above all, I love bags. That’s why I bought these three amazing babies. I FREAKING LOVE THEM. The first one is Armani and the other two are Micheal Kors. I already have a couple of idea for some spring outfits with the white bag. It’s cute and fresh.

I also got a satin blouse with a lovely pattern from Zara, a knit pullover with two details on the shoulder that I like very much from Tommy Hilfiger and a lace top from Moschino.

Today I took some time for myself and I did this cute nail art. Do you like it?

I gave my second exam at uni yesterday and it went very well and I’m super happy about that. As I told you in my last post, I studied so hard and I’m proud of it.

I took a morning off, just laying in bed and doing nothing at all and tomorrow I’ll start a new adventure.

Yep, I have to do another exam. I hope it’ll be easier than this one because I’m tired of studying. I want some free time, I want to go shopping with my friends and I want to go to Warhol and Kandinskij shows at Palazzo Reale here in Milan. And, obviously, I want to write a lot of new posts on my lovely blog.

First of all, this was my outfit for New Year’s Eve.

Outfit: Promod dress, Calzedonia stockings, Zara shoes, Zara headband

Manicure: OPI-Alpine Snow, Essence-02 Circus Confetti

I have to admit that I was quite sparkling, I know. But it was New Year’s Eve and you must be sparkling, mustn’t you?

I had a lovely time with my friends, we spent the night at a friend’s lake house and the day after we went for a walk in the town. Thaaaanks guys, I had a lot of fun!

On Monday night there was the Stylight event in Berlin hosted by the amazing Chiara Ferragni (The Blonde Salad).

Kenza Zouiteni is the most influential fashion blogger. The most promising blog is the one of Negin Mirsaleh from Nederlands, the best style is Aida Domenech’s one (Spain) and the most creative blog is the one of Louise Ebel form France. After the event it was a fantastic afterparty that gave the start to the fourteenth Berlin Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

I really liked Irene Colzi’s and Negin Mirsaleh’s outfits.

Talking about outfits, what do you think of what were the stars wearing at the Golden Globes?

Some of them was amazing, like Amy Adams, Cate Blanchett, Emma Watson, Jessica Chastain, Kate Beckinsale, Mila Kunis and Zoey Deschanel. They were just perfect. But look at Zoe Saldana and Jennifer Lawrence. Yeah. Please, try again.

I love Jennifer, she’s beautiful, she’s a good actress and she is very fun. But that dress? REALLY? C’mon you can do something better, Jen! (Look what I found LOL)

Last week there were also the People’s Choice Awards. I literally loved Nina Dobrev’s dress and her hairstyle was just..wow!

She won the price for best screen chemistry together with her ex boyfriend Ian Somerhalder. They were stunning. Can’t wait til January 23rd for new The Vampire Diaries episodes.

And in your opinion which was the best/worst look of these events?
